Dm
F
said he never would leave our little country behind
Gm
Said the pledge of allegiance, said I’d never smoke weed,
F
and that my bible I’d read it when I couldn’t decide
Gm
But the sermons were telling me, Hell was a felony,
F
and Heaven’s the guilty plea that keeps me alive
Gm
So my friend went and shot himself, the Jesus he asked for help,
F
was probably somewhere else said, "Son get in line"

you hand me the silhouette smoking a pipe
